This led to Pavia&#8217;s elevation to a &#8216;Municipium&#8217; and later to Roman citizenship for its inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the fall of the Roman Empire, Pavia became the capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom under King Theodoric and later served as a significant centre during Lombard rule. <strong>Charlemagne was crowned King of Italy here in 780<\/strong>, further cementing its political importance. The city continued to thrive during the Middle Ages as a major municipality until it fell under the control of the Visconti family in the 14th century.<strong>Pavia also played a crucial role in Italy&#8217;s unification<\/strong> during the 19th century, contributing significantly to the Risorgimento movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.italotreno.com\/en\/destinations-timetable\/rome-pavia-tickets\" style=\"background-color:#a81616\"><strong>Travel between Rome and Pavia with Italo\u2019s trains<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tag-2\">Exploring Pavia&#8217;s Historic Centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pavia&#8217;s historic centre is a treasure trove of architectural wonders and cultural landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c29e\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/en\/travel-ideas\/places-to-see-near-milan\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cosa-fare-vicino-Milano-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9768 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cosa-fare-vicino-Milano-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cosa-fare-vicino-Milano-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Cosa-fare-vicino-Milano.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/en\/travel-ideas\/places-to-see-near-milan\/\">What to see near Milan: the most beautiful places<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Milan is a quintessential Italian city where fashion, design and business meet.
